C1495 The War of Nation-Building (1/2)
The battle at the crossing of Little Earth Gate had ended. Six of the twenty soldiers of the Qing Kingdom's garrison had died, and only fourteen of their brothers, who had set fire to the forest, had survived.
If the Rakasha cavalry wanted to cross the river safely, they would have to go around fifteen miles to the north to reach another small crossing. However, this detour took three hours, and these three hours were way too important for the whole battle.
Just as the group of vanguard cavalry was struggling to find a safe passage, the Hidden Fog Kid in the forest finally made a decision.
”Qian Tianyongerlang! Take the hundred brothers and go back to the Haishenwai and report everything that's happened here to the general … Especially the information that the Qing Dynasty borrows from the Russian, we must report it to the Prime Minister and His Majesty! ”
”This is a big problem that involves the strategic aspect and is not something that we can solve! I will bring the rest of my brothers to the west, and we will go to Ningguta, and I will go see Hun Chun! ”
”No …” Everyone said in unison, ”Sir, you can't! Hun Chun is a general of the Qing Dynasty, since he ordered her men to seal our supplies, and even gave the order to the soldiers on the border guards, it means that he has accepted the orders of the Qing Dynasty. ”
”Master, do you think that if Hun Chun was really willing to resist, she would have ended up here unharmed? And so fast? He has already betrayed us, you will be courting death if you go! ”
How could the Hidden Fog Kid not know about the dangers inside? She stood up and paced back and forth in the snow, and then smashed her fist onto the tree trunk, causing the snow to fall.
”What else can we do? The enemy have sent over 50,000 cavalry soldiers from the Central Asia, who would dare to fight against those weaklings from the Qing Dynasty … ”
”Look at this again …” After saying that, Hidden Fog Kid picked up a rifle from the loot and pulled the trigger, ”Have any of you seen this rifle before?” Everyone shook their heads.
The Hidden Fog Kid said, ”I was previously trained by American arms experts in the Ryukyu, where did I learn about this type of rifle! ”This is called the Burdan Rifle …”
The Berdan rifle was invented by the American general, Berdan. The Civil War general was not only an inventor, but he was also the first sniper team in the northern army. He had proposed to the Ministry of Defence, and he was the first commander.
When the war came to an end, General Burdan did not return, did not choose to spend his life in the army, but continued his career as an inventor. He went to Russia to sell his skills to the Tsar and was hired by him.
After that, Burdan studied the weapons of both the Pudan War and the Poo War, and judged that the future was the future of the world with needle-rigging rifles, and shot the first needle-rigging rifle for Russia.
”This is the Burdan 1st model, also known as the Burdan 1868 model. It was only started being produced on a large scale last year …” This advanced weapon was actually a large amount of equipment in this cavalry unit, what did this mean? This clearly tells us that this is the most elite army in Central Asia! ”
”Don't even think about defeating them easily. We have to mobilize our strength and fight with them! ”We have to fight for time, and we have to seize the strategy even if we have to go deep. If we don't, we won't be able to win this war …”
”Why is the Sand Russian Army still not surrendering? Isn't it just that they have fantasies in their hearts, and hope that Haishenwai can reverse the situation with this battle, and force us to retreat at the negotiating table? ”
”I don't have a choice. I have to take this risk, and only I can take it …” Do any of you know how to convince the Hun Chun? Even if you managed to convince the Hun Chun, who among you would have a good plan for the next step? ”
The rhetorical questions enraged everyone present. No one dared to dissuade Sister Wu anymore, and they all accepted their orders to complete their missions.
Pah pah pah … After a series of clear gunshots, not a single person remained alive. Qian Tianyongerlang then led the one hundred cavalrymen to head east towards Haishenwai.
